Caroline BABBITT Obituary

Published by Ottawa Citizen on Mar. 17, 2018.
BABBITT, Caroline (Carrie) Elizabeth November 25, 1990 - March 12, 2018 Our kind, creative, beautiful daughter, Carrie, was taken from us suddenly on Monday, March 12. She was adored by her parents Sally and David Babbitt, her two older brothers Scott and John (Emily), and her uncles and aunts Olwyn (George), Jim, Anne (Bob), Susan, Cynthia (Pierre), James (Allison) and many cousins. Recent years brought health challenges that Carrie faced with strength and determination. Carrie had a holistic and spiritual approach to life and was passionate about yoga & meditation. She had a gentle nature and a contagious laugh. We will always cherish our memories of the happy times and the joy that she brought to our lives. Friends are invited to visit at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 315 McLeod St, Ottawa on Sunday, March 18, 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Funeral service at Beechwood National Memorial Center, 280 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa on Monday, March 19 at 2 pm.

Dear Sally and Family, I just heard about the loss of your daughter Caroline and I want you to know that you have my deepest sympathy. Thinking of you.

When I read on the newspaper of your passing, I was very shocked & upset!! I felt very empathetic for your family & the mixed emotions that they must be going through? We started to develop a bit of a personal friendship over the years. You were very sweet, friendly and a gentle soul. Whenever I bumped into you at Chapters Downtown, you would always yell "What A Guy" & we would always hang out and check out some books on travel and fiction. You & I were pretty shy & quiet in high school but we learned how to connect spiritually as we aged. I would drive you home sometimes because I didn't want you to take the bus. It's a very unfortunate situation, no more Thai food Carrie. I took the time to write this to thank you for always making me smile, from afar. I pray & hope that you are safe in a better place now with the Heavens. R.I.P. I wish you weren't gone just yet & that I could have been there to save you; it still feels unreal :(. So young/precious with lots of adventures to live for. It was my pleasure to get to know the real you, before & after Lisgar.

So very sorry for your family's loss. My thoughts are with you.

When I heard the awful news, a memory came to mind. It was 2009 and Carrie was just 18. Mom was sick and agitated in the Civic Hospital, and we had been trying to help. Carrie arrived. I saw her leaning over her grandmother, holding her hands: so beautiful and kind. Mom finally calmed down. I'll remember Carrie's gentleness above all, but also her passions: yoga, fishing, skiing, special teas. And of course I'll never forget seeing her on stage at the Ottawa Little Theatre. That's Carrie up there, I kept marvelling. We'll miss her tremendously. She brought joy to friends and family in a short life.
